We all have urges, aberrant hungers that we spend our days calculating whether it is to our advantage to indulge or suppress them. The righteous fury that moves one desperate victim to take revenge on the person who wronged them. The fathomless greed for recognition that drives another to seek ever higher achievement. Most societies and cultures caution us to rein in these impulses, to achieve enlightenment through their denial.

But what if we were to let them go? What monsters would be born?

CONTENT WARNING: This game's info pages, premise, plot, and events may involve or make reference to rape, dubious and coerced consent, torture, blood and gore, body horror, disfiguration, murder, cult behavior, medieval punishments, drugs effects, and animalistic sexual behaviors. Game images may contain blood and mild gore or be sexually suggestive.

RUBILYKSKOYE is a dark, horror-themed smut game. Characters arrive in a wooded void-space, naked and without any belongings. They will soon discover glowing runes on their bodies like tattoos, which mark them as bearing a curse that transforms them into monsters if they do not have regular sexual intercourse. The transformation into a beast is painful, and when it is complete, they lose their sense of self, becoming driven only by an appetite for sex and/or violence. In the nearby township from which the game takes its name, characters will discover a cult-like society of similarly cursed individuals with unfamiliar customs centered around the careful indulgence of these urges.

The game will alternate between horror-based and sex-based events. Horror events will draw on various tropes and elements like body horror, gore, violence, psychological horror, loss of autonomy, mistrust of senses, and lovecraftian madness. Smut events will draw primarily on kink tropes driven by the cult-like behavior of the local population.

Opt-outs will vary by event. While players can opt-out of the smut parts of the game, it will intensify the horror aspects of the game for their character, and opting out of the horror parts of the game will generally require more involvement in the smut components.

Welcome to the Rubilykskoye interest check! We are a panfandom, plot-heavy horror-smut game set in a void world populated solely by a vaguely Eastern European castle village! How and why your characters arrived will be answered as characters interact with the town's various NPCs, including the mysterious Duchess living in the castle, and as players proactively engage with events.

Players can expect events to alternate between the erotic and grotesque, though many will combine the two. The game will heavily feature eldritch body horror, religious cult behavior, and animalistic behaviors and urges.

The nitty-gritty:

There is a mod-run storyline with the first 'phase' outlined at about two years;

PC actions can and will influence the outcome of events;

This game is locked and invite-only;

App rounds are monthly;

It has no minimum comment count for AC;

There is an activity rewards shop.

Players can influence the outcome of events in a number of ways. In addition to giving players the chance to thread with NPCs to learn more about the game's plot and world, some events will allow game-wide votes on outcomes, while others will afford RNG opportunities for players to sign-up for an important role. Activity rewards also allow players to exchange their active participation in events for threads with NPCs and other plot tidbits or roles.

Hey, Lyn! Thanks for asking a great question.

In instances where characters do not have their genitals exposed in canon, we consider trans headcanons to be equally viable to cis headcanons. To us, this situation is indistinct from headcanon about a character's affectionate or sexual preference. As long as it does not contradict what is presented in canon, it's player discretion.

That said, we understand that some trans players in the DWRP community feel differently about trans headcanons and we want to be really clear about how we intend to respect those players' comfort as well, so everything below is an explanation of how we'd prefer players to handle their trans headcanons to account for that.

When soliciting or plotting smut CR, in places where gender would be referenced, we'd ask that players please indicate trans as part of the character's gender. The way this looks is up to you, but we want to respect that some players try to avoid smut CR with certain genital configurations (cis or trans) for various reasons including personal traumas, and we don't want anyone getting surprised because of assumptions.

We consider character arcs or CR interactions related to gender dysphoria or transphobia in much the same manner as backstories and interactions that involve other kinds of difficult subject matter like homophobia, sexuality questioning, etc., and would also ask that players CW for things like transphobia and gender dysphoria.

Further, we ask that players consider the emphasis placed upon headcanon relative to its basis in canon. I.e., if a character is trans but has never mentioned it in canon, they probably don't have a lot of hang-ups about it or tragic elements to their backstory, and it wouldn't seem appropriate to make the bulk of their threads about their transness or the potential associated marginalization. As with any headcanon, please ensure the character's gender/sexual minority status adds to and supplements the canon material rather than overshadowing it.

If you have any further questions about this policy or if you'd like to suggest amendments or adjustments based on your experience, please don't hesitate to chat with us more on it!

HELLO thank you for the thought out response to this question, I appreciate it. Obviously I also want to respect everyone's comfort level, since trans ppl are not a monolith and what brings me joy as a trans writer isn't going to be what brings everyone joy.

I'm very open about writing trans dudes when I do it, so no issue communicating that, or writing like "hey this is what my dude has going on down there" for smut purposes etc.

This is only relevant to me but I don't write gender dysphoria or focus on the marginalisation aspect of the trans experience in RP generally; in a smut RP I'm just here to write boys who happen to not have dicks, pretty much. (There's a little more to it than that, but basically.)

I think y'all have a really reasonable response to this and have considered how to be both inclusive and thoughtful and allow for people to engage how they want/how they are comfortable and I sincerely appreciate that.
